High-power, passively mode-locked Nd:GdVO4 laser using single-walled carbon nanotubes as saturable absorber

We use a new (to our knowledge) fabrication method of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) absorber without polymer to sustain high-power illumination. Using a series of saturable absorbers (SAs) incorporating different amounts of SWCNTs, we demonstrate mode-locking for a Nd:GdVO₄ laser in the 1...
